A child’s brain is remarkable - growing faster in the first three years of life than at any other time. At Banner Children’s, our neurological specialists are experts in how the brain develops and functions from infancy through young adulthood. Whether your child is born with a neurological condition or develops one later, our team provides compassionate, kid-connected care every step of the way.
Pediatric neurology focuses on diagnosing and treating disorders that affect a child’s brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. Our board-certified pediatric neurologists understand the unique ways children’s brains grow and change, allowing them to tailor care to your child’s age, symptoms and needs.
Pediatric neuropsychology explores how a child’s brain and nervous system influence thinking, emotions and behavior. A pediatric neuropsychologist evaluates memory, attention, language and problem-solving skills to understand how neurological changes affect daily life.
While neurology focuses on the physical and functional health of the brain and nervous system, neuropsychology studies how those brain functions relate to learning, emotions and behavior.
Together, these specialties help provide a complete picture of your child’s health and development.
